It has changed dramatically.

It's almost as big a change as what we saw from two years ago to last year.

Well, you know, we've spoken with you quite a bit, especially during that magical Calder Cup run.

And we had a chance to sit down with you after the games at the Abbey Center, or Rogers Center.

But now it is Rogers.

It wasn't back then.

But at the very least, I know that not only were you very high on those individuals, RJ and Manny, in terms of their acumen, but I want you to spend some time talking about those individuals as human beings and ultimately how they set the culture and how they treated people.

Yeah, and I think the most important thing is the consistency that you mentioned.

And you are going to butt heads with players when you bench them or you ask more of them.

It just comes down to the overall respect.

And I do think the challenge in this stage will be you're now going to be trying to do those sort of things with NHL players that are making a lot of money, some veteran players, some players that have high pedigree that are making a lot of money.

Would you be concerned at all with him changing that tactic?

Or do you think that Manny's the type of guy that's going to be consistent no matter what?

I think, you know, to Bic's point and also what you kind of talked about last year being a tough year, but there was so much to take into consideration, especially in the AHL, because the roster was so different from the Calder Cup winning team to last year's team, plus all the injuries and how they happened.

But in terms of how players individually progress in a really tough environment, how do you think some individual players did perform last year despite all that adversity?

Yeah, and I think that's going to be really fascinating to kind of keep an eye on.

And one of the things that I'm kind of wondering about here, and you have the unique opportunity to watch these guys, get to know them, know all the principles, the new Canucks GM, the head coach, and also some of the players.

And out of the players that spent a lot of time in Abbey last year, which one do you think might be poised to maybe surprise and grow and become something of consequence with this group this season?

Brandon, listen, man, always fun chatting with you.

And our listeners love it as well.
